fresh news. a US soldier has killed 16 civilians in a rampage in afghanistan including 9 children.

i dont think the US is in a state to move into uganda when it is obvious that afghanistan is about to get a lot worse (with the quran burnings and all)

some people here think that the kid's could just rebels. that the kids can do something. the kids have been indoctrinated into a system. kony has been doing this for over 20 years, it has been 6 years since he has left uganda, those 'kids' from uganda are young adults now and im pretty sure one of them is more than capable of taking over. news flash, there are more warlords in africa then just kony.

that some high ranking military officials in uganda used to be child soldiers when the current president seized power.

Ponk just made an excellent point. And honestly, who the hell cares about Uganda? If this Kony 2012 internet sensation thing wasn't going on, no one would even know about Joseph Kony and the Invisible Children. How about the real problem, Syria?

Didn't click on the link? Well I'll sum it up for you. In Syria, children are being burned alive in front of their mothers. So with all due respect, screw the invisible children. Worry about the visible ones.

EDIT: And this.

They shot the men and burned the others alive. They slaughtered the children in front of their mothers and then raped the women, some of whom were minors.

Alright, I was arguing on fb with some kid because I posted a kony 2012 thing and he said 'Well, why should we care the dude has been doing it for 40 years. Why try and stop him now?' That to me is just not a valid point, how do you guys feel on the subject?

@Dyl, just because something worse is happening elsewhere doesn't mean we shouldn't help out and stop kony. We gotta start somewhere ^.^
